"You are basically having your property taken out from under you without realizing it."

If your definition of property is US fiat currency, then OK, but if you're concerned about it, you have options such as commodities, non-US currencies, and hard assets like real estate.

True, except that buying and selling of these is taxed. If the govt. had said, "buy and sell as much glass as you want, and you won't get taxed for its trade", I's switch to glass in a heartbeat.
